Basic

Hey!! I felt so at home when I landed on this site by pure luck. You guys talk about the products I love, and will love. I am 19, I live in Montreal, Canada, and I go to Pure and Applied Sciences at Dawson. I am also a real girl, I go a little obsessive over beauty products and skin care :D It makes me happy and itching to try it out. I’m so glad I found this site :)

Tell Us More

I NEVER go without these

I absolutely adore Mario Badescu’ AHA Botanical Body Soap, and Nivea’s SOS Lotion to keep my skin soft. I always have La Roche Posay’s Nutritic and Ceralip Balms on me, as well as Minted Rose by Smith’s Rosebud. I go by Versace’s Bright Crystal by scent, and Olay’s WitchHazel Cleanser + ROC Hydra to keep my face in clean order. I also like to dabble in fresh fruits and proteins to keep my skin invigorated, every now and then :)

Biggest splurge or steal in my closet

My Donald J. Pliner’s Chava shoes! I got them off eBay for 20 dollars, I couldn’t believe it :p

do-gooder: Why I am one

In my own life, I like to stay focused on my studies, I had my wilder times before, and school lost its place. But now I try to keep my averages up, and my butt outside on a run once a day :p Otherwise, I visit a home of the elderly near my house, to say hello, because I used to work there for a quite some time, and I do miss them :)

read, watch, listen:Favorite books

J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth, Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian, Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indian, Patrick Suskind’s The Perfume, Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, Isabel Allende’s City of the Beasts and Kingdom of the Golden Dragon, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, Alexandre Dumas’s The Count of Monte-Cristo and The Three Musketeers, Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days, Clive Barker’s Abarat.

Excessive makeup. I have darker features in a medium-skinned face, so piling on makeup makes me look like I am really trying too hard. I need to pick only one feature, and define it, and voila. Also, no crazy blues, violets or greens.

eat, drink, be merry: Tell us your go to meal

I’d say my favorite meal that I can make is Italian Cacio e Pepe. You boil Alfredo pasta until it’s al dente, drizzle with olive oil, and then you grate mounds of cheese over it (Pecorino is best). Make sure to add lots. After that, fill a napkin with pepper corn pepper grains, take something solid, and smash away. Regular pepper is good too, but it’s better fresh. Mix it all in, and enjoy :D
Also, I love pistachio ice cream :)
